The Flying Fig is a great restaurant spot in a bustling area of Ohio City close to many other restaurants and shops and a hop away from the Westside market.
I came here for brunch with a few friends and was pleased with the menu options for brunch. Coffee was great and I was extremely happy with the polenta order that I made. The polenta was creamy and had the right amount of additions in mushrooms and kale to provide some texture and complexity to the dish. My friends orders of sausage and biscuits and the breakfast sandwich special was also well received.
We had reasonable service with our waters and coffee staying full throughout our meal. It was a bit slow at times with significant time going between our drink order, meal order, and arrival. Still, people were friendly and it wasn't absurdly slow, but definitely not a place to go if you're in a rush.
Bottom line, with a good menu, location, food, and reasonable service, the flying fig should definitely be a consideration if you're looking for a good restaurant in the Ohio City area.
